Benefits
We've created the Procyon as an experimental tool for the explora-
tion of a wide range of colored light (and sound)-induced alternate
states of awareness. And, although we hope you will take advan-
tage of our software tool for creating your own works of "mind-
art" and other applications, we've also included a variety of preset
sessions to get you started. Sessions are grouped into these general
categories:
Tranquility
and
calming
. These sessions use mostly "calming"
colors, especially blue and green, but also shades of purple and oc-
casionally other colors for visual variety. They tend to change
slowly and are intended to lead the mind towards a state of tran-
quility.
Before bed
. Similar to the calming sessions, but even slower and
again focused on blue and green light and their combinations. The
goal is to help clear the mind before bed. Some users have re-
ported having unusually vivid dreams with these sessions.
Learning
. Most of these are based upon the twilight learning and
super-learning paradigm, and are intended to lead your mind into a
light trance-like state known as hypnogogia.
Peak performance
. Mostly "middle of the rainbow" colors and
frequencies associated with the goals of mental activation and peak
performance; often used for learning and sports preparation.
Energy/rejuvenation
. More active; patterns shift rapidly and are
intended to prepare the mind and body for activities such as sports
and other physical activities, or before meetings and tests. Perfect
for use during breaks from work and for study.
Visualization/artform/entertainment
. These sessions demon-
strate the more purely aesthetic aspects of the Procyon, and are
intended to induce more complex (even hallucinatory) visual im-
agery, and as preparation for exploring altered states of awareness.
